Global Garbage Bag Market Analysis, Trends, Forecast up to 2023

According to the World Bank report,
the amount of garbage generated in urban areas, globally, is growing
at a faster rate than the rate of urbanization. On an average, each
person produces 1.2 kg of garbage per day and, thus, 7.4 million tons
of garbage is produced per day in the world. This waste comes from
households, schools, offices, market places, restaurants, industries,
commercial complexes, agriculture, etc.

A garbage bag is a flexible
material used for the collection, storage, disposal, and handling of
garbage. In addition, it has a very wide application in the
transportation and distribution of garbage. It has variety of names
such as bin bag, trash bag, rubbish bag, can line, etc. Three
Canadians, Harry Wasylyk, Larry Hansen, and Frank Plomp, produced the
first garbage plastic bag in 1950. In the 21st Century, there are
different materials available for the production of a garbage bag.
Those materials include Low-Density Polythene (LDPE), High-Density
Polythene (HDPE), recycled polythene, liner blend polythene, Medium
Density Polythene (MDPE), Metallocene Polythene (mPE), degradable
polythene, woven polypropylene, biodegradable polythene, and
co-extruded plastic bags. Garbage bags produced from these materials
are low cost, hygienic, leak proof, lightweight, durable, portable,
offer resistance to air & water, meet FDA and USDA
specifications, and can be recycled. These bags come in a variety of
colors, such as black, pink, green, white, transparent, etc. They are
also available in variety of sizes, depending on their end uses.
Garbage bags find a wide range of applications in day to day life and
are widely used in households, colleges, offices, shops, restaurants,
hospitals, industries, etc.
